世界商业报道[biz.icxo.com]消息：美国福特汽车在进一步给出了捷豹、路虎的剥离细节，周一再次澄清——无意抛售沃尔沃品牌。
多家媒体纷纷报道称,福特正考虑对沃尔沃进行招标出售,就此将原旗下的高端车集团(PAG)彻底剥离;另有业界分析人士表示,鉴于福特掣肘的现金流问题,卖掉沃尔沃以自救也在情理之中。福特发言人周日时还不置评论，周一时却对美联社进行了正面否认。
福特1999年以64.5亿美元将瑞典品牌沃尔沃收编麾下，有媒体预期若出售沃尔沃可获80亿美元。另有处理出售捷豹、路虎的财务机构估计，两品牌价值在13亿美元到15亿美元之间。
The Ford Motor Company, which is struggling to reorganize amid record losses and slumping American sales, has decided to entertain offers for Volvo, people with knowledge of the situation said Sunday.
The decision to talk to interested buyers followed a meeting of Ford directors last week, and comes as Ford also is trying to sell its two other European luxury brands, Jaguar and Land Rover.
Together with Aston-Martin, the luxury sports carmaker that Ford sold in March, the brands made up the Premier Automotive Group, which Ford once thought would generate more than $1 billion a year in profits.
But the idea of a collection of European brands now appears to have been set aside as Ford attempts to go back to basics, namely its car and truck business in the United States and elsewhere. Volvo, however, is attractive to a number of potential bidders because of its reputation for building safe cars.
One possible bidder, analysts said Sunday, was BMW, the German luxury carmaker. In May, European press reports said that BMW had asked Ford for data on Volvo; at the time, Ford said the brand was not for sale.
Collectively, Ford could receive as much as $15 billion for all three car companies, although Volvo, which Ford bought in 1999 for $6.5 billion, may prove more difficult to untangle from its operations.
